NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Penguins might not have started strong Tuesday. But they were the better team when it mattered to win their third straight game.
The surging Penguins rallied in the third period to defeat the Nashville Predators, 3-1, at Bridgestone Arena. They have now won three games in a row.
After two scoreless periods, former Penguins forward Mark Jankowski gave the Predators the game’s first lead with 12:59 remaining in regulation. He was able to skate in alone on Tristan Jarry because of Kris Letang’s inexplicable giveaway in the defensive zone, making a blind pass straight to Jankowski.
